New England Patriots' backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is likely staying with his team this coming season amid trade rumors. Although several teams have expressed interest in the budding star, none of the offers impressed the Patriot's management.
According to a source from the Boston Herald, no team managed to meet the New England Patriots' demands. Unless a team meets the Patriot's price, Jimmy Garappolo will not be going anywhere.
It is unclear how much the New England Patriots' is asking for Jimmy Garapolo. There are however rumors saying that the Patriot's are asking for a first and second round pick.
The lack of interest can also be attributed to the other competing team's refusal to help the current champions. Teams are fearing that the picks given to the New England Patriot's for Jimmy Garoppolo would turn out to be a new superstar to an already formidable team.
On the other hand, the New England Patriots are also keeping their options. The team has inquired about the services of backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett in the scenario that Jimmy Garoppolo is traded.
Nonetheless, Jimmy Garoppolo is a decent backup quarterback for the New England Patriots with huge upside. Jimmy Garoppolo has proven last season that he can start right away and is only 25 years old. The backup quarterback is entering the final year of his contract and can demand up to $18 million per season. Even Tom Brady has good words for the budding quarterback.
Young quality quarterbacks are hard to come by in the NFL. Jimmy Garoppolo certainly fits that bill but it will require some time and investment for him to blossom. But judging from the previous season with the New England Patriots, Jimmy Garoppolo might be able to prove his worth.
Should teams fail to spark interest from the New England Patriots, Jimmy Garoppolo will stay as a Patriot. But for the Patriots, Jimmy Garoppolo staying might not be much of a problem. He may actually turn out to be a superstar and be a worthy successor to Tom Brady.
